Abstract

In this study we present photometric and spectroscopic variation analysis and orbital period study of a low-mass interacting system OO Aql. Simultaneous solution of the light and radial velocity curves provide us a determination of new set of stellar physical parameters for the primary and the secondary companion as M1_{1} = 1.05(2) M_{\odot}, M2_{2} = 0.89(2) M_{\odot}, R1_{1} = 1.38(2) R_{\odot}, R2_{2} = 1.28(2) R_{\odot}, log(L1/L)=0.258\log{(L_1/L_{\odot})} = 0.258 and log(L2/L)=0.117\log{(L_2/L_{\odot})} = 0.117 and the separation of the components were determined a = 3.333(16) R_{\odot}. Newly obtained parameters yield the distance of the system as 136(8) pc. Analyses of the mid-eclipse times indicate a period increase of PP˙=4×107\frac{P}{\dot{P}}=4\times 10^{7} yr that can be interpreted in terms of the mass transfer dMdt=5×108\frac{dM}{dt}=5\times 10^{-8} M_{\odot}/yr from the less massive component to the more massive component. Our new solution confirmed that OO Aql is a multiple system in the form of AB + C + D. We found initial astrophysical parameters for the component of the system and its current age to be 8.6 Gyr using nonconservative stellar evolution model (EV-TWIN code).
